PDP STAKEHOLDERS MEETING IN A SHAKY START

By Joseph ETTA in Calabar

The PDP stakeholders meeting that started in Calabar on Wednesday was shaky and marred by very poor attendance. More so, the leader of the Party and the convener of the meeting, Governor Ben Ayade was out of town. At press time Daybreak learnt that the Governor was still being expected.

When Daybreak visited Pandomidum Hotel, venue of the meeting, it was gathered that the “meeting was chaired by the Deputy Governor, Prof Iwara, in session with the state PDP Chairman, Ntufam Inok Edim Inok and the working committee of the party for this purpose.”

An insider in the party told Daybreak that the essence of the meeting is to tell the party faithful “thank you” and also to prepare their mind for the forthcoming Local Government Area Council Election and possible the need to prepare credible candidates.

The one-month long meeting is slated to end on October 22, with Calabar southern taking the last turn to round it up.

It will be recalled that Daybreak had reported the reasons for the apathy and disenchantment amongst members of the party  as chiefly because of the Governor’s refusal to conduct the council election and reluctance to “settle” the state coordinators who worked for him during the last election.
